Summary
For years, you were behind the scenes, designing deadly games. But one reckless decision flipped your role—now you're a player. The Frontman doesn’t forgive mistakes, and you find yourself thrown into the 36th edition of the Squid Game. You believe your insider knowledge will give you an advantage, but soon, you realize that the entire game has been completely reworked.
To make things worse, Player 001 feels oddly familiar —and you can’t shake the feeling that he barely tolerates you- Language:

Summary
Some masks are meant to hide; others are meant to protect. But when the masks come off, what remains?
Kim Da-eun once escaped the horrors of Squid Game, leaving behind the pink uniform that marked her as one of its soldiers. For three years, she lived in hiding, haunted by the system she once served and the secrets she carried. But the past has a way of catching up.
Now entangled with the Front Man—the enigmatic overseer of the games—and his masked men, Da-eun walks a treacherous path between survival and defiance. As ideologies collide and morality is tested, she must confront the cost of her choices while uncovering the deeper truths behind the games and their overseer.
Set against the events of Squid Game Seasons 1 and 2, this story weaves Da-eun’s journey with the lives of its players, guards, and masterminds. Overlapping with pivotal moments and characters from both seasons, the narrative unfolds in the tense period between Season 1 and the progression of Season 2.
Note: This story explores darker themes, delving into the psychological toll of survival, morality, and the pursuit of power.

Summary
Fate has a cruel sense of humor.
Eugene Choi and Go Ae Shin thought their story ended with a tragic blaze, their love buried beneath the ashes of sacrifice and duty. But when they open their eyes again, decades have passed, and they are no longer themselves.
Reborn as Hwang In Ho, the enigmatic Front Man of the deadly Squid Game, and Oh Eun Ji, the sheltered granddaughter of Oh Il Nam, their souls are thrust into a world far more twisted than the war-torn Joseon they left behind.
In this second life, Eugene—now In Ho—bears the weight of unspeakable sins and a mask that conceals not only his face but his humanity. Ae Shin—now Eun Ji—struggles to reconcile her new identity with the fiery convictions of her past self.
As their paths cross once more in the labyrinth of betrayal and survival, their love is tested in ways it never was before. Can a flame reignite amidst the darkness of a blood-soaked game? Or will the echoes of their past lives doom them to yet another tragedy?

Summary
“Do you think you really helped him? Don’t be self-righteous. He’s a drunk. He’ll end up on the street tomorrow, and he’ll freeze to death then.”
In-ho’s sanity slowly slipped away. He leaned against the man, still muttering over and over. Suddenly, a touch burned him. It was the other man’s fingers, gently cupping at nape of his neck.
“If you’re going to leave him to fend for himself without fixing him, you should have just let him die,” In-ho repeated.
“I understand,” came the man’s answer. “Take it as my own selfishness, then.”
Role Reversal AU where Gi-hun is the Frontman, and In-ho meets him after the games in 2015.

Summary
Kara Sevda
[Noun.] Turkish
A blinding, desperate love for another person. A kind of love that makes you sick. Literally translates to "Dark Love"."You did it, hero. You stopped the games. You should be happy."
Gi-hun had won. In-ho has failed to break his spirit. And the more he fails, the more his obsession with the man grows, plunging him into the black ocean of despair. A love that is keeping them both prisoners.
"How long are you going to keep me here?"
"As long as it takes."
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of loveThe song they were dancing to felt like a letter to the future. In-ho knew that whatever they had couldn't last forever. Sooner or later, Gi-hun was going to disentangle himself from his web.
He just wanted to dance with him until the end.

Summary
In-ho has one chance to convince Gi-hun to join him as his right-hand-man, or else the VIPs want him dead. He agrees.
Because In-ho is right. The rebellion didn't work. It was never going to work. The players are simply too far removed from the people really in charge. Even killing the Front Man would only result in a replacement Front Man. But as the Front Man's protégé, Gi-hun can make a difference. He can do what he can for the players from above, rather than below. He can investigate the gold-masked men. He can scheme.
There's light in the darkness. In-ho helps Gi-hun get Ga-yeong back. He teaches him how to fight, how to survive in this deadly world. Slowly, slowly, they begin to trust each other. (The kissing happens long before the trust.)
Gi-hun uses his new power, undreamt of in his old life, to do what he never did before: think only of others. And the luxury helps, the high-end alcohol helps, but of course he's still tortured by guilt. But at least they're tortured together, and take sanctuary in each other. Gi-hun gets to fight in favor of the players; In-ho gets to not be alone. They both got what they wanted.
Begins immediately following the events of S2.

Summary
After the rebellion, Player 456 is not eliminated from the games. Instead, he becomes a fellow observer, forced to watch the games from above. Surrounded by gold and silver, Seong Gi-hun is determined to stick to his beliefs. But the constant reminders of the grief he's faced, alongside a new perspective of the games threatens to change his worldview.
Hwang In-ho knows that Gi-hun is something unique in these games. But his views are flawed. If he can simply make Gi-hun see the right way of thinking, then perhaps the games can gain a second person pulling the strings alongside him.

Summary
The first time Eddie Munson watches Chrissy Cunningham die isn't the worst. It's the second, because he had thought she was going to live this time.
//
The universe made a cosmic mistake the day Chrissy Cunningham was allowed to die. It set off a chain of events that led to catastrophe, at first local, then global, and eventually interdimensional. It led to the end of all there is, was, and would ever be.
But the universe is rather interested in self-preservation. It couldn’t save itself in the future, but it could save itself then.
If only someone would get it right.
[Now complete.]

With Nathan by her side, for better or worst, Max will dive into the past, through a journey in light and darkness.This is a Caulscott re-telling of LIS ending with twists, turns and angst to boot.
